Definition
Pay per click (PPC) is an Internet advertising pricing model in which advertisers pay advertising agencies and/or media companies based on how many users clicked on an online ad or a link in an email message. [1]
Cost per click (i.e., the amount spent to get an advertisement clicked) is the metric used by advertisers to determine this model’s effectiveness. [2]
The display URL is the Internet address that search engine users see in a PPC ad. It helps users to anticipate the content of the landing page. [3]
